I'm not running a hotel - it's a large house in a rural area, and it's not uncommon for it to take a day or two before a house gets cleaned after you depart, which means that trash and dirty dishes left behind become a…
On leaving negative reviews of guests, it's widely known among hosts that leaving a guest who you've had a poor experience with a review at all is a guaranteed path to getting a negative review yourself. The guest sees…
"Airbnb" is a label that represents a massive range of situations. Different guests, different properties, different expectations. I'm a host, I've had hundreds of stays over several years, and I have stellar reviews.…
I wish I had mentioned that I recognize there are some very valid reasons why a professional with a deeper knowledge than I have might steer their patient away from some of these offerings (completely separate from the…
> You may need to push for comprehensive genetic testing. Some doctors were weird about this and didn’t order it promptly, even after telling me they would. Honest question - when physicians steer their patients, do…
Fair, I won't comment on whether or not a camera adds any value to this use case specifically. I can imagine a lot of other ways that a camera could be useful... today I only plug in a google home camera when I'm gone…
It takes real effort and tuning to get it right today, but it's getting easier!

I live in a 1700sqft space - not small, but not large. I have ~15 separate banks of overhead lights that were built into my builder grade condo when I bought it, and probably 20 light fixtures (lamps, accent lights,…
I don’t disagree, but effective enforcement of the law as it is written has to play a role. There is a kernel of truth behind the broken windows theory of policing. When it’s widely known that the law can’t be reliably…
I hate that this has to be an all or nothing conversation. There is a path where technology can deliver benefits without significant harm to individual privacy. San Francisco has turned the tide on smash and grab crime…
Similar take here - I only find value in skills as a way to repeatably carry out tasks that are specific to my workflow; any skills I've seen shared broadly don't seem to add much value beyond what the model itself can…
This piece is so incredibly lazy. It's essentially an inventory of grievances the author has heard, each one poorly articulated and poorly supported. It aims to get points for completeness so it's lengthy, though every…
Corey laid out this line of thinking on a July 1 episode of the Galaxy Brain podcast. It was a good listen and I generally think he has some interesting points, but I also can't help but think that he does himself a…
I currently have a Tesla (no CarPlay) and a Volvo EV with a reasonably good CarPlay implementation. I was in the same position as the writer until I experienced great in-vehicle software that I think only Tesla & Rivian…
What a sad path to see such a bright star going down. I guess it’s not a huge surprise, but it really does paint a bleak picture of technology to see how narrow the range of likely outcomes is. Doesn’t matter if you…

From time to time I've tried using ChatGPT for financial modeling, and I have to say my experiences don't inspire much confidence. Just this past week I used it to generate a simple model of a few different scenarios…
It’s an allegation, and the names of alleged perpetrators of crimes are rarely protected like this. Certainly feels like special treatment.
All this is is evidence that Jack Dorsey had no idea what half the employees at Block were doing before he decided to do layoffs. May he know no peace, wherever he goes.
...but many people in positions where they can start a war or cause some other highly visible event of any sort probably will start turning to Polymarket to make money in the course of their work
As a technology company scales up, making great software becomes one of a hundred things the company needs to do right in order to survive and grow. Doesn’t mean it isn’t absolutely essential, but so is having a strong…
There's so much content and so many opinions on "meetings" that are polarized and come from a very narrow viewpoint. This particular POV seems reasonably critical of meetings but also recognizing that they are often…
The willingness to think you understand and can have an informed opinion on something neither you nor I nor a twentysomething engineer from Tesla know anything about is just as tiresome. I’m only arguing that there are…
If you are arguing that DOGE didn’t have massive power and cause irreparable damage you aren’t a serious person.
